Hello so my Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ARE05 is currently dealing with some heating issues, as is some most laptops. Problem appears to be the CPU overheating, as my laptop stutters suddenly when I am in the middle of a game, or randomly unexpectedly. Checked my temps with Afterburner and noticed that my temps are waaaaay too high. MSIAB my laptop's temps range from 60-70C at idle, then around 90C when during in game, and in the cases it reaches 100C, is the stuttering starts. Which iirc is the failsafe by the CPU inorder to not damage the component when it reaches around that temperature. I had to look into some solutions such as having optimal air flow, which my laptop does as the stand it's on has an open bottom, I opened up the back and blew air into everything and the fans. The only solution left that I have is by replacing the thermal paste inside it, which I do not how to do so.
SIDE NOTE: I had upgraded my RAM to 20gb about 4-5 months ago, idk if that is part of the problem, but it seemed like the stuttering and overheating issues were prominent way before then.
I do not know which specific type of thermal paste to buy for my specific laptop, nor the instructions on how to remove the fan "block" inorder to access the CPU and the paste. Any videos or instructions on how to do so for my specific laptop? And which thermal paste do I buy so I could replace it.
